This should correct the problem - Click on Forms on the upper right of the desktop program screen when using Windows When in Forms mode, on the left side of the screen click on Social Sec to open the Social Security Benefits Worksheet.  At the bottom of the page click on Delete Form.  Then return to the interview by clicking on Step-by-Step at the top right of the screen.

I tend to agree with you.  I've also used TT for more than 25 years without incident. Now the 2025 Premier version of TT has some serious issues. 1 - requires an end user to go into browser settings to get the import to work - I'm pretty tech savvy & it still took me 2 hours to find & implement the solution.  Still can't get it to work for my sister's PC.  Can't imagine how a casual user must feel.   2 - now it opens a window that requires me to sign-on to my financial institution - based on how this version of TT is running, I'm worried about whether proper security is in place & not sure how I'd feel about giving my ID/password to a tax person if this doesn't change.   Certainly not the TT quality of past decades. Would suggest TT give the Document Import function some immediate & much needed tuning/work to return it to a usable tax package.  

I did have insurance through the online marketplace. I have form 1095A (supplied by marketplace)  form 8962 and form 7206. 7206 is the Self Employed Health Insurance Deduction form  -  the system filled it out and on line 14 it has $8293 with instructions that it go on the 1040 Schedule 1 line 17.  But the sched 1 line 17 was also filled out by the system for $14252, the incorrect amount. Unless there's something else at play that I'm not picking up on, that figure will have to be changed/overridden by me. Thoughts??

@cjtammy You are in the wrong section of the program to report the sale of your main primary home.  The questions you posted are NOT in the Sale of Home section.   If you sold your primary personal residence and you lived in and owned the home for at least two years in the five year period on the date of sale, you do not have to report the sale if your gains are less then the exclusion amounts of $250,000 if filing Single or $500,000 if filing Married Filing Jointly (and both lived in the home for two years). Gain or Loss = Sales Price minus Sales Expenses minus Adjusted Basis (Purchase Price plus the cost of improvements prior to the sale) Selling cost can include escrow fees, legal fees, real estate agent commissions, advertising costs, and even home staging fees. If you had a gain greater then the exclusion amounts then you would have to report the sale. Also, if you received a Form 1099-S for the sale either with a gain or a loss, the sale has to be reported. You will need the online TurboTax Premium edition to report the sale if you are using the online editions. Make sure that you indicate that you want the sale of the home reported on your tax return.   Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business) Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business) Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown) Scroll down to Less Common Income On Sale of Home (gain or loss), click the start or update button

Definitely DO NOT DELETE last year's info. Why they don't carry last year's info forward baffles me! The warning is true- -  DO NOT IMPORT THE 2025 .TXF FILE! The resulting 2025 entries will not have any of the 2024 info carried forward. Instead, do like is recommended- - enter 2025 info by typing it in.   ...yet another foul-up for 2025!

@LindaS5247 so going off of what this says, my adjusted refund from the IRS was $139.00 (46.77 after TT took their cut). The incorrect refund because of the wrong information (original 1095-A that was sent) was $2346. What is the wrong portion here? The info that was given to me was incorrect.
